History of Gerkatin
Previously, there were several regional Indonesian deaf community organizations that had been formed in 1960, including: Bandung with the name SEKATUBI (Indonesian Deaf and Mute Association), PTRS (Semarang Deaf Association), Yogyakarta PERTRI (Indonesian Deaf Association), PEKATUR (Surabaya Deaf Association). In connection with the large number of regional deaf community organizations, several leaders of these organizations agreed to hold the 1st National Congress on February 23, 1981 in Jakarta. The results of the Congress have produced several decisions, including perfecting the name of the organization into one, namely GERKATIN, an abbreviation of the Gerakan untuk Kesejahteraan Tuna Deru Indonesia in English, namely IAWD (Indonesian Association for the Welfare of the Deaf). In further developments, GERKATIN / IAWD has been registered since 1983 as a member of the WFD (World Federation of the Deaf) in Indonesia. The World Federation of the Deaf is headquartered in Helsinki, Finland.


Introduction
Deaf or hard of hearing is someone who has lost their hearing since birth due to fate and other factors (illness, disaster, accident, old age). People who are deaf/hard of hearing have clearly received a lot of backwardness in various information), word of mouth communication is also hampered, although on the very disadvantageous side but there is a saying that "the body may be disabled as long as the soul is not disabled" this is what gives us the spirit to catch up and we are able to match equality with hearing people through education that visual access including lip reading, writing, reading running text and communicating using sign language.
